Wei Ba stood in front of the Lingqu and sighed with emotion. Although he is not a hydraulic engineer, he can still feel the wisdom of the Lingqu project, which was built 400 years ago.

It can be seen that the Chinese nation has never lacked smart people, but they were bound by that set of Confucian doctrines, and led the talents of smart people to intrigue, but ignored these most fundamental jishu.

Although Wei Ba was born as a jishu person and also believed in the assertion that science jishu is the primary productive force, he has never been a jishu theory. He believes that jishu is the foundation, and only on this pragmatic basis can he have the strength to carry out the so-called concept of these retreats.

This shijie has always been the final say of the strong, and the reason why the strong are strong is precisely because of scientific jishu.

Of course, he is also against the only Jishu faction, and it is still necessary to be kind to others, like Qin Shi Huang, who treats everyone as slaves and tools, and even does not hesitate to kill his relatives, even if he conquers the world, he is probably the only one who will feel happy.

After all, it is impossible for one person to take care of all affairs, and it is impossible to dominate the world alone. Because of this, he did not approve of Zhuge Liang's work style.

No matter how smart a person is, how smart can he be?

It is precisely because of this idea that Wei Ba, who is famous for his mechanical jishu, did not bury his head in the workshop; The young man became famous, and the invincible Wei Shenjiang did not soak in the barracks wholeheartedly; On the contrary, he was very leisurely and started to be the shopkeeper.

The Wuling School was presided over by Lai Min, and the Jiaozhou School was presided over by Liu Xi, and each of them had some Confucian students. There are also some readers who are familiar with jishu as an assistant. Originally, there weren't many people who learned jishu.,Most of them go to the school to study in order to be an official in the future.,Who would think of bothering to be a craftsman.。 Even if a master with a Wei family background like Li Wei served as a lecturer, even if Wei Ba personally came forward to give a lecture, he couldn't recruit a few students at that time.

However, after this year's land reform, the problem of recruiting workers and students has finally improved. Because there are few people in the land, many families who have been allocated land but can't recruit enough troops have to turn to the new jishu, and those places that are not suitable for farming want to be used, and those who are familiar with agriculture and water conservancy come in handy. There is a place for engineering and students. When the spring semester starts. They returned to the school with a generous honorarium, bright clothes, and red faces, which immediately aroused the envy and jealousy of the students.

Right now. Each school can recruit more than 100 engineering students. Most of them come from little background. There is a clear distinction between the common people who have no hope of becoming officials and those who have a family background and can become officials in the future, and the children of tribal leaders.

Even Wei Ba. There is no way to change this situation for a while.

Chen You, who came from Chengdu, gave him an idea: to inspect the projects in various places in the name of inspecting the defense area, and bring some engineering students with excellent character and learning, so that they can not only conduct field investigations, increase their knowledge, but also help their momentum, show the importance of the general to Jishu, and set an example for the people of the world. As long as you can persist for a period of time and imperceptibly, you can naturally change the perception that some people in the world despise jishu.

Wei Ba thought it was a good idea, so he began a periodic inspection. This time, he inspected Yanguan and focused on inspecting the Lingqu.

Ling Yulin was too guarded, and the guards of the town and the guards Zhu Wu and Qian Fei came to accompany him, and Chen Yi, who was fluttering in white, stood in the distance and discussed the engineering of the Lingqu with some engineering students.

Chen Yizi Fengzong, is Chen Yi's brother, the grandson of the great Confucian Xu Jing, looks like a talent, versatile, became famous as a teenager, and after the weak crown, he entered the office and chose Cao Lang. It sounds like a very important official, but now the power of Shu Han is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no matter what Cao is in other departments, Cao Lang has no future like Li Wei's Shangshu Lingshi. Li Xun is a local, no matter how he can go home to farm, he can't go back to his home, so he can only endure hardship.

Because of the Heavenly Master's Dao, Chen Yi first came to Wei Ba's side, and later got along happily, and when he returned to Chengdu to do business, he once encouraged Chen Yi to come to Wuling together. At that time, Wei Ba had not yet captured Jiaozhou, and Chen You had little confidence in Wei Ba, so he didn't agree, and wanted to wait and see for a while. Later, Wei Ba seized Jiaozhou, defeated Lu Xun, and made the marquis a general with a weak crown, and became famous all over the world, so he came to the Zhennan General's Mansion to ask for a meeting.

Unlike Zhang Biao, Yang Xi and others who were recommended by Li Yan, Chen Yi followed Fei Yi's path. Fei Yi is a native of Jiangxia and Chen Yi is a native of Runan, although it is not a county, or even a state, but in fact, their hometown is very close to each other, and it can be regarded as a township party. may be because of this reason, Fei Yi has always attached great importance to Chen Yi, Chen Yi begged to come to the door, and he also readily agreed to write a book to recommend Chen Yi.

At Fei Yi's recommendation, and his younger brother Chen Yi's relationship, coupled with his own academic attainments, he was quickly reused by Wei Ba. Especially after he gave Wei Ba that idea, he is now a close confidant of Wei Ba, a little closer than Zhang Biao and Yang Xi. Wei Ba intended to let him succeed Li Wei and serve as the engineering sacrificial wine of the Wuling Academy.

In fact, Chen You's most outstanding thing is not his academics, but his well-behaved person. For example, when he saw Zhu Wu and Qian Fei coming, he took the initiative to step aside. Unlike Zhang Biao, Yang Xi and others who don't look down on martial artists very much, although he also looks down on martial artists, he knows very well that Wei Ba is a martial artist and attaches great importance to his subordinates, so he never shows the slightest contempt for martial artists in front of Wei Ba.

"How's Yulin doing?" Wei Ba asked, "Has the place where Lu Gongji (Lu Ji) studied been renovated?" ”

"Don't worry, general, we have already let people deal with it, and the repair will be completed soon."

"Let someone handle it?" Wei Ba frowned, not very satisfied.

Lu Ji is the head of the Lu family with the fourth surname of Wu County, more authentic than Lu Xun, and his daughter Lu Yusheng married the Zhang family of Wu County, that is, Zhang Wen's younger brother Zhang Bai. Lu Ji used to be the Taishou of Yulin, and died in Yulin, although he was not happy in Yulin, it did not affect Wei Ba to use Lu Ji to win the hearts of the Wujun family. Renovating Lu Ji's study place is certainly not as simple as just repairing two houses. Zhu Wu and Qian Fei are both rough people, and they don't understand the trick here. Only sent his men to deal with it.

Zhu Wu and Qian Fei were puzzled and looked at each other blankly.

Wei Ba sighed, it's okay for these two rough goods to fight, it's really not okay to do these things, it seems that it is still necessary to choose another person to be Yulin Taishou and govern civil affairs. Jiaozhou is his foundation, Yulin is the center of gravity of Jiaozhou, several trade routes meet in Yulin, and the manpower here must be competent.

Wei Ba asked some more about the situation, except for military affairs. Both men know little about it. This strengthened Wei Ba's determination even more. Seeing that his face was not good, Zhu Qian and the others knew that their work was not satisfactory to Wei Ba, so they stepped aside in a sneer.

Chen only glanced at them and walked over. He asked softly, "Does the general want to remove them?" ”

Wei Ba's eyes flashed. Didn't speak.

"General. The situation is uncertain, and it is not appropriate to make a big move. Chen Yi looked at Wei Ba and said calmly: "It's better to give them some capable assistants." Substitution. It will inevitably cause suspicion, and if you want to do a good job, you will inevitably use thunder means, and if you use thunder means, you will inevitably be suspected of seizing power. It is better to send an assistant and do things again without causing resistance. ”

Wei Ba thought for a moment and glanced at Chen Yi appreciatively. Chen You's method is indeed more tactful than his method of substitution. He laughed: "Fengzong, you go to be the Yulin Supervisor, there is no more suitable than you." ”

Chen Yi smiled: "Since the general said so, then I have to give it a try, I hope I won't disappoint the general." ”

"Fengzong, I know your abilities very well, and I believe you also understand the current situation. Although Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains, it affects the situation in the Central Plains, and this influence may become more and more significant. ”

Chen Yi bowed and bowed: "General, I will definitely go all out." ”

Wei Ba didn't say anything more, talking to smart people is simple, just a little dial. Wei Ba immediately called Zhu Wu and Qian Fei over and told them their decision. Zhu Qian and the others listened and hurriedly thanked them, they thought that Wei Ba was going to remove them from their positions, but now they are just assigned an assistant, although they will share some power, it is much better than removing officials.

After inspecting the Lingqu, Wei Ba settled in the Xiaoyanguan camp. The bell is holding the child's hand and toddler on the flat ground. Wei Ba squatted down, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Son, come to Lao Tzu." ”

The little guy drooled with laughter, let go of the bell's hand, took two steps slowly, and fell to the ground, the bell was just about to help, Xiahou Hui walked out of it and shouted: "Don't help him, let him get up by himself." As he spoke, he walked behind Wei Ba and shouted softly: "Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng, get up, get up and come to Daddy." ”

The little guy was grinning and about to cry, but when he heard Xiahou Hui's voice, he laughed again, struggled on the ground for a while, slowly got up, staggered away, took two steps, and saw that he was about to fall again, he moved his calves, ran two steps forward, and suddenly threw himself into Wei Ba's arms, giggling.

"Ah Zheng is really good." Xiahou Hui poked his head over and kissed the little guy on the face very loudly. The little one was even happier, smiling, proud and proud.

Wei Ba was also very happy, but he realized the title of Xiahou Hui. According to custom, in order to avoid being known to the ghosts and gods and dying young, children are not given names immediately after birth, and their elders do not give them names until 100 days. When the child was born, Wei Ba was not around, and he was on his way to Jingzhou when he was a hundred days, so he never chose a name.

"Ah Zheng? Who took the name? ”

"It's the prime minister." Xiahou Hui smiled and raised the letter in his hand.

"The Prime Minister's letter?" Wei Ba frowned, holding the child in one hand and taking the letter in the other. He could see at a glance that this was Zhuge Liang's handwritten letter, and his calligraphy was learned from Zhuge Liang, which was too familiar.

"yes." Xiahou Hui took the child and squeezed his eyes: "Don't you think this name is a good sign?" ”

"Which name is not a good sign." Wei Ba disagreed, took out the letter bag and shook it, and began to read the letter. Cao Zhi broke into Guanzhong, the situation in Guanzhong was critical, and Zhuge Liang was still in the mood to give him such a long letter at this time, probably not as simple as choosing a name.

"Say you don't read, you still don't admit it." Xiahou Hui said angrily: "The army of the king, there is no battle, what is this not a good sign?" ”

Wei Ba was suddenly stunned, not because this name was a good sign, but because he felt that the name Wei Zheng was ...... It's so familiar
